User manual for a Targa 612 surface grinder

[gary Chapman 10Participant @garychapman10]

I have just aquired a used Targa 612 surface grinder in good condition made in 1983 Looking for a user manual, in particular information about what sort of oil to use as a way lubricant. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Way lubricant for a manual surface grinder

[John HinkleyParticipant @johnhinkley26699]

I had a google for images of your grinder, just out of nosiness. I thought I'd typed into the search field incorrectly, because the images that appeared labelled Targa 612, showed a surface grinder so similar to my Warco "Simple" grinder. If you can post a picture of yours, it might be possible to narrow down a search for a manual.

Spot the difference:

Granted the table feed wheel is different, but not a lot else.

Further to the above, I've done a bit more digging. My grinder has a one-shot lubrication system, which I have yet to refill, so can't say what is required. Having said that, the Warco, and by implication your Targa grinder, is from the same mould as the USA Grizzly G5963 6×12 grinder. I have downloaded their manual, which is quite comprehensive and includes exploded parts drawings and that specifies ISO 68 oil for the one-shot oiling system. It also states that, apart from the obvious lubrication points, other moving parts are sealed units and need not be lubricated.

I have the pdf of the manual. If you want a copy, PM me your email address.
